Crossfit 215 will be hosting an affiliate throw down October 3rd starting at 9am. Teams are comprised of 6 athlete, 3 men and 3 women. There will be 3 events, 2 that involve the entire team and all 3 will be announced the Friday before the competition.

With that said I want to remind everybody that anybody can attend the fire breather meetings. They are generally 90 minutes or less, always on Sundays at 9:30am. We do skill work followed by a WOD that is emailed out at least 48 hours prior to the WOD. So far the focus has been skillwork and WODs. In the future it will be the same but with added focus on competition and teamwork because I would love to travel to other gyms.

It is not a class but a collaboration where members suggest WODS, request skill work and have control over what happens during meetings. If you are interested in being added to our mailing list please either put it in a post or send Meris an email at merissullivan@gmail.com

To be a fire breather you do not have to be a top athlete in the gym. Our requirements are listed below.

1.Willing to work your ass off with a positive attitude

2. Laugh at Meris’ jokes

    Right now, there aren’t any members in the Fire Breather’s because none of Meris’ jokes are funny

  2. Joanne says:

    Can girls at my “level” be a part of the competition? Im not the strongest, but ill work as hard (and fast) as i can for my team!

  3. Ryan says:

    Heck yeah! That would mean we need one more girl and three guys.

    Come on fellas!

  4. Jay says:

    Any idea how long the competition will last? I would be interested, but I have tickets to the Giants game that night

  5. Dave says:

    Jay I might be willing to sacrifice for the gym and let you give me the giants tickets.

  6. Meris says:

    Jay- 1. I am hilarious 2. I’m not sure what time it would end but since there are 3 events I would assume sometime after 6. If we can’t get people together for this event we can look for one further down the road that is more convenient for everybody

  7. Ryan says:

    hosting hosting hosting! because then it would be super convenient!

  8. Meris says:

    Ryan- you forgot the part of the post where you agree that I am hilarious and tell Jay that he is a big jerk and that he sucks.

  9. Ryan says:

    Right you are.

    Meris is hilarious (kind of)
    and Jay is a jerk (but not really).

    ;p

    Meris, I’m in, but I’m wearing my Blackhawks t-shirt… Will we be staying overnight? If so, how will we handle hotel reservations and such?

What do you think?
